Chapter 110: Miscarriage
Qi Ruo said in a timely manner: "The old book is the account made by my aunt when she was housekeeper, and it is all old accounts, and the new one is the one that the courtiers have re-sorted out." Except for this year's courtiers who didn't look at it, almost all the courtiers in previous years have seen it, and they all have problems, and the problems are getting more and more serious. ”
This is a private account book, if you look at it too carefully, it is not good, the queen casually flipped a few pages and put it down.
"There are a lot of problems with this ledger. The bookkeeper was also dismissed well. ”
When Wen heard this, his face was incredulous: "The courtiers really didn't expect that Mr. Ledger was actually deceiving his superiors and subordinates. ”
Qi Ruo doesn't have the heart to care about these now, the whereabouts of these money haven't been found out yet, she has to make an attitude with the queen first, so as not to find out an improper transaction when the time comes, and it will be suspected by others.
"I don't know where these missing money are, and the courtiers have to find out carefully."
The queen sighed deeply, very embarrassed: "Lady Qi, you ...... Your account is true...... That's it, it's also the bookkeeper who deceived the upper and lower ......"
The Wen family has always known when to say something, and this time the old man has moved out again, it is bound to sell enough, and Qi Ruo's unfilial reputation has been confirmed!
"That's it, it's all the courtier's fault, I should have gone with the old prince in the first place......"
The queen hurriedly reassured: "Where did Mrs. Qi say?" You just don't know how to take care of the accounts, but this Qi Ruo is really wrong! ”
The queen's face suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "Qi Ruo, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Qi Ruo thought about it and said in a sullen voice: "The courtiers don't know, what the courtiers said is true." "It's like a gamble.
As soon as the queen heard this, she immediately reprimanded: "It's a big mistake to know your mistakes and not change them!" Today, this palace will cure you convincingly! ”
"As a daughter-in-law, you don't respect your elders, it's for the sake of one; You point out the faults of your elders in public, but you don't leave any room for them, it's for the second fault; The third time I passed through the palace, I have already said it! ”
The queen raised her forehead and said, "Go and kneel outside the hall to reflect on your mistakes." ”
Qi Ruo wanted to say more, but was stopped by the queen with a wave of his hand.
"I think you are still pregnant, and now you have been kneeling for so long, go and kneel again after lunch, and then enjoy a futon mat, so that you can think about it there, when you think about it, you want to come to the same lady Qi to admit your mistake, and then come to the same palace to say."
The royal majesty, the punishment given by the queen is also a reward, she can only kowtow and thank you.
Wen was left by the queen for lunch, and at the dinner table, he couldn't help but sigh at the queen again, and by the way, he recalled the time when the old prince was still there, until she saw Qi Ruo kneeling in the courtyard of Fengyu Palace, and she left the palace.
The weather today is particularly bad, the wind is blowing, and it doesn't take long for Qi Ruo to get goosebumps all over his body.
Xia He wanted to take a cloak to put on her, but she refused.
"I'm here to admit my mistakes, not to enjoy the blessings, the queen mother has given me a futon is already a gift, put this cloak away."
Xia He put the cloak back, and there was a sorrow between his eyebrows that could not be hidden.
Qi Ruo was not as worried as Xia He, and his mind flew to the Zhenguo Mansion early.
She knew what Wen was doing in a hurry to go back, but it was just to go to the West Wing to ask for the account books to cover up the evidence, so that they would not find out more.
Wen didn't get the benefits.
She aggressively led a small group of people from the Zhenguo Mansion to surround the West Wing, and she was about to force someone to take out the account book.
Steward Li came back, Yada didn't care about it, when Wen didn't exist, she should sort out the accounts, and let Steward Li talk to her.
Steward Li doesn't speak on weekdays, and when he speaks, he hits the nail on the head everywhere, and the Wen family wants to use a strong one, but there are still people guarding Qi Ruo in this courtyard, and when the two sides confront each other, no one wants to please him.
As soon as Concubine Xian heard in the palace that Qi Ruo had been sued by the Wen family to the queen's mother, and that she had been punished again, she hurriedly passed the news to Prince Ren.
Prince Ren had a thought in his heart, the child-avoiding medicine he and Mo Forget had begged from him before, but it came from the desert wizard, not only can it make people infertile, even if it is found early, if it is not properly conditioned, it will make the pregnant person very easy to miscarry, especially this Qi Ruocai has not been able to adjust his body for a long time, but he is afraid that this kneeling will be aborted.
"Go! Go to the barracks to find Zhen Guogong, he is still in the barracks at this time, but I'm afraid that the news will not reach his ears so quickly. ”
But no, it is not necessary to be low-key in punishing such a big matter as the Duchess of Zhenguo, lest he say that he will not give face to the Duke of Zhenguo at that time, and it will be troublesome if he is separated from the emperor.
If the Duchess of Zhenguo is punished for kneeling, it is better to say that it is only that your family's family affairs have come to me, there is no way, so I have to do this, but if something happens, it will not look good.
As Prince Ren wished, Qi Mo got the news that Qi Ruo had fainted as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, and he rushed to the harem in a panic.
When he arrived, Imperial Doctor Li happened to come out of the side hall where Qi Ruo was resting, and he didn't care about saluting a number of ladies waiting in this hall, so he directly stepped forward and pulled Imperial Doctor Li is good question.
Imperial Doctor Li first bowed to the queen and the ladies of the palace, and then to Qi Mo, and then replied tremblingly: "Duchess Zhenguo, she ...... She had been poisoned before, and her body had not yet fully recovered, so it was easier for her to keep the fetus than others......"
"What did you say?" Qi Mo stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed Imperial Doctor Li's collar, "Impossible, there must be a way, you lie to me!" How so? Definitely not. ”
"Madame has seen some blood before, this ......"
Imperial Doctor Li was very embarrassed.
The queen came out and said, "Imperial Doctor Li, you go and prescribe a prescription." ”
No matter what Qi Ruo's body was before, this incident was directly caused by her punishment, but her identity is here, and there is no reason to apologize.
"Please also ask Zhenguo Gong to mourn, Qi Ruo is still waiting for you inside."
Qi Mo looked back at the queen fixedly, his eyes were scarlet, and he was shocked to see it, but at this moment, there was a cry in the house, but it was Qi Ruo who woke up.
Qi Mo didn't care about anything else, turned around and entered the inner room, and after pacifying the person, he insisted on carrying the person out of the palace.
The emperor also arrived at this time, gave grace, and let the carriage go to Fengyu Palace and wait.
Qi Mo thanked the emperor and queen expressionlessly, turned around and went into the room again to hug Qi Ruo, who was tightly wrapped, and no one saw the person wrapped in the cloak, and a few people got into the carriage in a glance.
After the people left, the queen immediately knelt in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to punish him.
All the concubines have their own camps, those who watch the drama watch the play, and those who speak for the queen speak for the queen.
Everyone present knows that the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship, and there are many people waiting for the queen to fall out of favor and they will rise to the top.
The emperor knew the thoughts of these individuals, he sighed heavily, and finally only let the queen think about herself, and the phoenix seal was handed over to Ning'an Palace for the queen mother to take care of temporarily.
The heirs of the lineage of the Zhenguo Mansion are not very rich, and their family has two kinds of love, an old Zhenguo Gong, and a Qi Mo, none of them accept concubines, and there is no connecting room before they get married, only one wife, and now there is only one descendant of Qi Mo.
It is reasonable to say that this child should never be folded in the palace.
The emperor's compensation was not only to pull the best tonic to the Zhenguo Mansion one by one, but also to hand over the power of the housekeeper to Qi Ruo on the grounds that Mrs. Qi was not good at handling the accounts.
Wen's doesn't matter, as long as Qi Mo is not happy, she will be happy. Now there is only an empty shelf left in the town's Guogong Mansion, a lot of bad debts, not to mention that she has lost nine out of ten family property, six or seven percent should be about the same.
Before, she wanted to get the account book back, just to regain the power of the town's mansion, and she didn't want Qi Ruo to find out the whereabouts of that sum of money, so as to continue to lose the remaining few percent, but now she can't get it and let it go, anyway, Qi Mo has no good life.
She couldn't help humming a little song, and asked the maid on the side to boil a pot of wine, so that she would not get drunk tonight.
Qi Mo couldn't help pinching Qi Ruo's pale little face: "You, Xia He asked you to put on a cloak, but you don't wear it!" It's just a show, and everyone else thinks you're pregnant, so it's okay to be squeamish. ”
"Isn't that for the sake of being realistic...... Qi Ruo couldn't help coughing twice, "Who knows that it didn't take long for me to get sick...... This illness is also very dependent, and it has been two days and it is still uncomfortable......"
It just so happened that the medicine was cooling down a bit, and Qi Mo picked up the medicine bowl and fed Qi Ruo spoonful by spoon.
"You've been working hard for the past few days, and the wind was so strong that day, can you not get sick?"
Qi Ruo leaned against the bed rail and waved his hand.
"It's okay, anyway, it's all about boiling medicine to make a show, so it's more realistic. However, the medicines used after the miscarriage cannot be broken, and they still have to be boiled, otherwise it will be found that it is only a medicine for wind and cold, and I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion. ”
As she spoke, she sighed again: "It's also a shame that Prince Ren drugged me, and Qi Mei came to fake pregnancy again, so I had a plan." ”
"I didn't say that. You're cruel to yourself, and I'm going to suspect that you did it on purpose. Qi Mo was still quite aggrieved, "How uncomfortable should I be like this......"
As he spoke, he still pursed his mouth, as if Qi Ruo had damaged some of his treasures.
Qi Ruo was about to coax a few words, but Qiu Ju came to report, saying that Prince Ren and Princess Ren were here.
Qi Mo put down the spoon and couldn't help but sigh: "You can't rest again." ”
This Prince Ren came in the name of visiting Qi Ruo, and he couldn't go in and out of the woman's house at will, he must have asked Prince Ren and Princess Ren to come and see, and he also wanted to go through the motions.
But I'm afraid it's more than just going through the motions.
Prince Ren has always been cautious, and when he has grown older in the past two years, he is afraid that he will not be able to wait for the day when he will sit on the throne, but there is still a person by his side, who is not a vegetarian, both cunning and ruthless, but not something that ordinary people can reach.
Qi Mo thought that Prince Ren came this time not only to completely pull himself into his camp, but also to confirm whether Qi Ruo was really bedridden due to miscarriage.
Qi Ruo knew what Qi Mo was worried about, and reassured: "You can rest assured, I will be careful." ”
